There has been a lot of drama going n lately. There's been some stuff with Women's League and at the time I was like this is crazy! Then I found out about the possibility of my job moving to another town and I was all bummed out about it. Then last night I read this...
There seems to be a lot of confusion about what's going on so I'm just
going to tell y'all. We are in desperate need once again MORE THAN EVER
for your prayers. It seems like we are always going through a struggle
with our children but we always come through stronger than ever. I pray
for Landon's healing and strength! I pray for the strength that we need
to stay strong for him. Yesterday he was a normal little boy playing
baseball in the yard, last night around 10:30 he started complaining
that his tummy hurt (like usual), we gave him his daily medicine and he
went to the bathroom then went to bed saying his tummy felt better
(again this is a normal thing for us). He woke up about an hour later
throwing up and screaming in pain trying to use the bathroom again, this
was a little unusual. We tried giving him a little extra medicine to
help him thinking there was still more for him to get rid of. He gripped
the toilet with his hands and feet screaming, crying, and pouring
sweat. Jeremey Tillman
and I decided it was time to take him to the emergency room bc we
couldn't get relief for him and the vomiting was a little concerning. We
get to the ER thinking he just has a blockage (we have had this problem
before, they give him meds to clean him out and the problem is solved)
over about 8 hours he completely lost his color, was extremely
lethargic, lips were blue, dehydrated, and couldn't even fight the
nurses while they stuck him 14 times trying to get blood. They took him
for a barium enema (test to try to see where the obstruction was where
they inject dye and see where it's getting stuck, during the test the
doctor came to the waiting room and told me that the second set of blood
work they had done came back and it was significantly worse in just
those few hours meaning he needed surgery and would be taken for surgery
this afternoon. Just a few minutes later the manager comes to get me
out of the waiting room to take me into private so the people doing the
study could come talk to me. They informed me that Landon's heart had
stopped. They had intubate him and we're doing chest compressions to
try to revive him. It took them 18 minutes to get him back. They wheeled
him by us in the hallway and couldn't stop bc they had to take him
straight into surgery. They had to remove a huge part of his colon bc it
had died. Due to this his kidneys and liver took a hit too and they are
having to watch them. He has a colostomy bag to allow his intestines to
heal, they are having to watch his lungs and heart due to the cardiac
arrest and compressions, and they are having to watch for brain damage
due to lack of oxygen. Please, PLEASE listen to ur babies no matter how
old when they tell u something is wrong with them and figure out what it
is. One day we are normal and having tummy aches due to what we thought
was the normal constipation, the next my baby is in icy fighting for
his life! Please listen to your kids and pay attention to signs! And
PLEASE KEEP OUR LITTLE MAN AND OUR FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS!!
Now all the things that are going on or going wrong in my life seem so very miniscule. I cannot imagine what this family is going through. And I just heard that there isn't any brain activity showing for Landon.
My heart is breaking...
